Desmond Tutu said “Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”
​
I stumbled across this quote many years ago and it sparked in me a drive to do good where I am, and led me to put my time and skills to work where it mattered which eventually meant the Shoebox Project where I am eager to bring people together to help women feel good about themselves and cared for, despite their current circumstances. Sometimes it's the simplest things that make people happiest.
